Ingredients

• 350 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 grams Plain Greek yogurt
• 60 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 50 grams Desiccated coconut
• 50 grams Ground almonds
• 50 grams Golden sultanas
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add the plain Greek yogurt, warm water, olive oil, and honey. Mix together until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough gently in the bowl for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the dough to relax.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining the desiccated coconut, ground almonds, and golden sultanas in a small bowl.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly.

Step 8

Take one of the dough balls and place a portion of the coconut-almond-sultana mixture in the center. Gather the edges of the dough to encase the filling and seal it well.

Step 9

Gently flatten the filled dough ball and roll it out carefully into a rough oval shape using a rolling pin.

Step 10

Transfer the rolled naan onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles start to form.

Step 11

Flip the naan and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Repeat the filling, rolling, and cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 13

Brush the hot naans with melted butter before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite curry or as a sweet snack.
